Team Skeet - losing the plot?

[Rich B]

I'm not a member of Team Skeet but happen to have seen a few of their scenes over the last couple of months and wonder if they are slowly wrecking their business.

Watching porn is of course very, very subjective. Many like POV, many others don't. Many like close ups and lots of them. Many others hate too many close ups.

Daughter Swap used to be great but the latest Fiona Frost & Isabel Moon one was a real mess. Firstly far too much preamble - no-one is paying for the dialogue - and when we got to the sex, it was a mess and badly shot. Mom Swap is another where the same thing happened. I'm guessing Penny Barber is exclusive to them - her Mom Swap scene with Jessica Ryan should have been great but was wrecked by far too much preamble (about 20 mins, as I remember) and then such poorly shot sex that a lot of it was side on where it was just a woman bouncing on a man. The Director forgot that members are paying to see the sex.

Nubiles went through a bit of a similar phase a couple of years ago but things are much, much better now.

Team Skeet are booking the talent, getting and paying for everything to work - and it should - but to me, whoever is directing the shoots is being paid to put the whole operation at risk. I'm sure they don't intend to but carry on like this and Team Skeet could very well follow Reality Gang and the other collapsed brands of the last few years. I mean this kindly - I was a member of Daughter Swap a few years ago. I want Penny Barber (and others) to be in good, well shot scenes. I would rejoin if I had confidence that things were changing and were doing so.

As they say - discuss.

Credit where credit's due - today's MomSwap scene with Dee Williams and Sheena Ryder is much, much better (it's a really good scene). Hope things continue in this vein.

Team Skeet is best described as an a-la-carte-network. You have to purchase sites within the network. Or you can buy all of them in one quick swoop. I was buying sites individually because to buy all of them at one time is just too expensive plus many of them frankly I'm not really interested in. I am a Team Skeet member. And with Family Strokes I was able to purchase it with no problems. However, when I wanted to buy MYLF their system messed up and yes, now I have two usernames and two passwords. So I have PervMom tied to the MYLF membership. When I tried to buy FreeUse Fantasy it worked again so that is tied to my Team Skeet and Family Strokes membership. Crazy, right? When things go wrong in my accounts, their support team often has difficulty in finding my information. The last two times that I've had troubles, they seemed okay with and they were able to help me. But everything is through email. So you can be offline with them for four days until the fixes go through.

... and Team Skeet could very well follow Reality Gang and the other collapsed brands of the last few years. ....

The Reality Gang Network was ruined by Manwin / Mindgeek. Blame them. More times than not, Mindgeek messes things up. Everything they touch turns to garbage. Just as an example, look at Twistys and Pornhub. They wanted Big Sausage Pizza because it was interfering with many of the websites that they were investing in. So they went out and purchased the network. No more competition. They promised that they would keep all of the updates going on the other sites. They promised upgrades and remastering of the videos. There was even a story in Xbiz about all of that. So what did they do? They "lost" all of the photographs for all the scenes when doing the acquisition. How do you do that? Poof. They just disappeared. Apparently they didn't do a proper job with any of the photo galleries when taking them off the server and/or they didn't run proper backup protocols. Then they dropped Milf Cruiser, Euro-Bride Tryouts, and adult.com from the Reality Gang Network and took them off the server. Well, that is, after all the affiliate money dried up. That's when other webmasters host links on their websites, though picture boxes, back to Reality Gang Network and fees generate. But when that money dried up, away went Milf Cruiser, Euro-Bride Tryouts and adult.com.Those upgrades and remasters that were promised? They never happened. Those Big Sausage Pizza videos were still in 480p SD when I dropped the membership from the Brazzers PornPortal in 2015. Let's go back in time to 2006. Ugh.

Actually they are. The teamskeet/mylf premium swap series are not vanilla porn, it's fetish porn where the performers are playing roles, establishing characters. If the acting and story development in the setup isn't convincing enough to allow the viewer to suspend his disbelief then it won't work as a fetish and you're left with a junky vanilla scene.

Each to their own. I still think there is far too much dialogue (though take your point) and I'm afraid things haven't improved on shooting the sex so the viewer can see clearly and enough of what is going on.

^Either way you can find a lot of discussion of the swap sites on the daughterswap_com reddit (30k members). It's run by fans so criticism is encouraged.

That's a fair point but still the people who produce much of Team Skeet's content don't seem to appreciate enough that people join their sites for one key reason - to watch attractive people having sex and to see clearly what's going on. My feeling is that someone in Team Skeet is trying to film what we might call real sex (and, to be fair, it is), missionary, doggie, one girl over the other. The problem with all of this is that the paying viewer can't see very much. I know reverse cowgirl is not a regular, real life position, but you can see properly what is going on and I find it very sexy. Spoons is more of a regular position but Team Skeet hardly film this either.

There has been a slight change recently and some reverse cowgirl has been included. Looking at the most recent Mom Swap scene (Joslyn Jane), it was half hearted and not well shot. Nothing yet has persuaded me to buy a Team Skeet premium membership. I have a mylf.com one.

Someone is investing a lot of money in Team Skeet. The people directing the scenes look, sadly, in my view, to be throwing it down the drain. I don't know the sales figures - maybe they are doing just fine, but not yet for me.

A Teamskeet Premium membership will run you $365/year billed annually. My Epoch subscription lapsed with my MasterCard and they offered me thirty-three percent off. That comes out to $243.45/year. Both $365.00/year and $243.45/year for me are way too expensive to pay at one time. Honestly I'm not really into many of their websites. Plus I already have two of their sites MYLF and PervMom under Segpay and my Visa card. So buying a Premium membership, in itself will not make me even consider their Teamskeet Premium membership plan.

I wonder why they have a couple of "freeuse" sites but no "timestop" ones. At least in Japan the latter is clearly more popular and I also find it hotter. It's unlikely a matter of freeuse being "safer"/more pc than timestop when the same people also produce the shoplyfter series.
